Well, we all know Gruhn is a reputable dealer (I've been in his old shop in Nashville a couple of times over the years), so I'm sure the guitar is what he says it is, but seriously, how can that thing be that clean when it's that old? Didn't anyone ever play it?

It's almost too good to be true ... and the price reflects that, I guess...

If they don't accept your offer, let me know I'll throw in 5K as long as I get the guitar for at least 1 month a year, promise I won't play it, I'll only look at it.

Think of it as a time share agreement ;)..."

They're considering it, but have ran into problems confirming my line of credit with my Nigerian bank. My business partner & CFO, who happens to be a prince in Nigeria, has assured me that any problems with my accounts will be corrected immediately.

In the Telecaster subforum I started a thread with a link to an extremely clean '53 Tele that was featured on the Antiques Roadshow. It belonged to female music teacher who apparently only used it when giving music lessons (and I'm guessing that her students DID NOT play it). So, yeah, they exist.
